"Solomon, why are you meddling in my affairs?" Merlin frowned and asked in a serious tone.
"I have done nothing," replied the King of Wisdom.
"You shouldn't have told him about the war. What would you think if I interfered with the way you taught your apprentices?"
Solomon was silent for a moment, "Okay, I apologize. You are right, I did cross the line. How about I erase his memory, or at least seal it?"
Merlin shook his head. He understood Ian's character best. If he did this, it would eventually lead to a estrangement between the master and the disciple.
So, he sighed, "It seems that I was too indulgent before. From now on, no matter which world he goes to, I will block it to prevent any of you from interfering."
After saying that, Merlin disappeared.
Solomon was silent for a while. He did cross the line, but this was just his way of doing things. Because he felt that Ian was extremely talented and knew what the young man would face in the future, he decided to give him a warning in advance.
This would allow him to be better prepared for the future. Of course, he also realized that he had indeed broken some important rules by interfering with another "mighty" disciple.
Fortunately, Merlin is a gentle-tempered person, otherwise this matter may cause big trouble.
Of course, the reason why Solomon dared to be so reckless was because he had accurately calculated the character of Merlin.
Solomon looked into the distance and thought to himself, "There is not much time left for these young people. If they cannot grow up quickly, we will not be able to hold on."
Subsequently, his consciousness left this incarnation of time and space.
Parallel Universe, Warcraft Universe.
Quel'Thalas, in a certain building Mage Tower.
Solomon walked into a room in the tower, where a handsome elf was sitting there reading a book. The elf was obviously startled when he saw someone suddenly breaking in without triggering any magic traps.
"Master, how many times have I told you not to be so mysterious and scary all the time?"
"I've told you many times, this is testing your alertness," Solomon replied.
The handsome elf sighed and decided not to argue with this weird old man who liked to talk about life in strange ways.
"So, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"
"Disciple, I have bad news to tell you."
Suddenly, an ominous premonition arose in the elf's heart. Knowing his master's behavior, he knew that this bad news would be absolutely disastrous for him.
"What's it this time?"
"I have decided to seal most - if not all - functions of your system," Solomon said with a smile on his face.
"What?" The handsome elf jumped up from his chair.
After being reincarnated into this dangerous world, the reason why he became one of the most powerful mages that the world has ever seen, who controls arcane power, was all due to this system.
Now, this cheap master actually wants to seal it and deprive it of all the power and convenience it brings?
"I'm sorry, my good disciple. Recently, I met the disciple of another old friend. Like you, he is also a time traveler from Primordial Earth. But he is not as lucky as you and does not have a plug-in as powerful as the system."
"However, so far, his achievements have left you thousands of miles away. So, in order to force you to further develop your potential, I made this decision," Solomon said.
Hearing this, the handsome elf gritted his teeth.
"Old man, I'll fight you!"
Although he said so, he didn't dare to take action at all because he remembered the scene when he first met this cheap master.
Even with the so-called "invincible mode" turned on, he was almost slapped to death.
That experience completely humbled him and made him realize that the world is big and there are people outside of it.
"In addition," Solomon continued, "Although I will not seal your system's ability to travel to other universes, I will give you ten years. During these ten years, you must create your own magic or technology that can achieve the same function. If you fail, this part of the function will also be sealed, and you will be trapped in this universe for a long time."
"Master, how can you be so unreasonable?"
Solomon sighed, "Disciple, this is easier than you think. You only need to study how your system travels across the universe, and then copy its principles. Or, you can study Titans in this world, and they have also developed Multiverse transmission technology."
"Some people even do it with fewer resources."
"You mean the apprentice of your old friend?" the elf asked through gritted teeth.
Solomon looked at his apprentice with profound eyes full of wisdom.
"Look at you now, you look like a wretch whose world has collapsed. You are so dependent on this system that you have no confidence in what you can do without it."
"I have told you many times that the system is just a tool to assist you in your magic practice, but you never listen. With this mentality, you will never become a truly strong person."
Hearing the master's words, the handsome elf showed a shocked expression on his face, and then an epiphany came to his heart: the master was right.
With the system, he can learn most magic spells or theories instantly, and can optimize them and make them stronger.
Creating new spells and inventing new technologies comes easily to him.
In addition, he can travel to other universes to acquire new knowledge and learn different magic systems.
Because of this, in just a few decades, he became the Demigod of this world, and his strength even surpassed that of Aegwynn (Aegwynn).
Not to mention, he also realized his dream in his previous life and chased the anime goddess he admired.
It can be said that with the system, wealth, power, and women, he has everything he wants.
However, because of this, he became overly dependent on the system - especially after meeting Solomon and learning that the system was not a conspiracy of a powerful person, but because of his own talent from Primordial Earth, this dependence became even more intense.
Looking back on all this, the elf realized the deep problems behind his dependence.
The master once told him about the enemies he would face in the future.
At that moment, he was swallowed by fear and felt that his future was bleak. Therefore, he eagerly wanted to grab something to rely on to give himself strength and a sense of security.
Although the master said that when he reaches a certain level, the system will become useless, he does not want to believe it.
Because that means he has to rely on himself.
To be honest, deep down, this handsome elf doesn't feel like there's anything special about him.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary dead man.
Therefore, subconsciously, he always believed that without the system, he would be nothing.
After thinking through all this, the elf had a determined look on his face.
This is a chance to regain his confidence, a chance to prove to himself that even without a system, he can still achieve great things.
"Master, seal it. Don't worry, I will not disappoint your expectations."
Hearing this, Solomon smiled. How could the apprentice he personally selected be an ordinary person?
Maybe the apprentice himself doesn't know what's special about him, but Solomon knows very well how strong this kid's heart is.
Among many of his colleagues, many have now accepted disciples and told them the truth about what they will face in the future. As far as Solomon knows, almost all of these people were on the verge of collapse after learning the truth, and the mentors had no choice but to erase or seal their memories.
Many of those disciples have golden fingers that are more perverted than this child's system, but even so, this child is still one of the few who did not collapse after learning the truth, but instead accepted it calmly.
Because of this, many people like Merlin choose not to tell their disciples the truth for the time being, waiting for the right time.
"I knew you wouldn't let me down," Solomon said, waving his hand and placing a magic seal on the golden light deep in the disciple's soul.
Then, he disappeared from this universe; he was a busy man and had no time to be a nanny while his apprentice was growing up.
